A Felon Is Denied The Right To Own A Gun to Protect His Family

Adorable how loser is screeching for attention. :)
A person uses a knife in a commission of a felony is denied the right to own a knife after he/she serves his/her time.
A person uses a car in a commission of a felony is denied the right to own a car after he/she serves his /her time.
A person who doesn't use either one in a commission of a felony is denied the right to own either one after he/she serves his/her time.

Would that make sense to you?

Discuss.
 
Once a person has served their time, they should have all rights restored to them. If they can't be trusted in public with a weapon, they can't be trusted in public.

Yes, It's called consequences. And Yes, It's called a background check!

It's kind of like that credit rating thing- you know- you get laid off- you can't find a job- they repossess your car- AND THEY RUIN YOUR CREDIT FOR LIFE KIND OF THING!

Or, you apply for a job at the bank, and they run a background check and discover you just got out of the pen for robbing banks- SO THEY REFUSE TO HIRE YOU KIND OF THING!

Or you are 18 years old, and your girlfriend is 17 years old, you mutually agree to have sex, get caught, busted, spend 10 years in jail for statutory rape- AND THEN END UP ON A SEX VIOLATOR LIST FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

Or you get busted for a bag of weed in your car- spend the next year in jail- meanwhile your state just passed a law that legalizes the sale of marijuana- BUT YOU HAVE 9 MORE MONTHS IN JAIL TO GO- meanwhile everyone else is buying weed at KROGERS! LOL!

Or you served your time for a DWI- but it is on your police record for life now and it will prevent you from getting thousands of jobs because of your police record.

I know of a lot of laws that are not fair!

I am sure there are thousands of them I didn't think of!

and yet i'm betting, that like the good little sheep you are, that you think 'the law is the law', or 'don't like the law, work to change it', as if constitutional prohibitions were a thing of the past written by those slave owning white men who had no business creating a free nation.............am I right?

No Sir.

I don't like to see these non-forgiving laws!

I am not so much into the government prohibitions either. EVEN GUNS!

But, I do think guns should be sold to licensed owners by licensed sellers and registered with the state- JUST LIKE YOUR CAR IS NOW!

not liking 'non-forgiving' laws.....is that why you like prior restraint or government control on privately owned property??????

NO- You cannot commit crimes on your property- just because you own the property!

If that's what you mean!

If that is not what you mean- PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE!

Sorry, I don't keep up with NRA rhetoric!

When did knowing the laws and obeying laws become a bad thing to you criminal

it's not NRA rhetoric. what i'm talking about is your preference of registering private property so that the government can 'regulate' it.......like cars, in your example. guns, for another. What else do you think should be registered? bicycles? roller skates? kitchen knives and baseball bats? machinist equipment?

Not a question of “regulating private property,” but rather what serves the greater good, we are a democracy, and even Locke found surrendering individual rights was part of the social contract

Your understanding implies that if your neighbor wants to plant claymore mines on the perimeter of his property he should be allowed to do so cause private property shouldn’t be regulated
 
Is a felon denied the right to own all kinds of guns or is the OP upset because the felon can't own a particular type of gun?

Guns and auto's will do for now!

In many states, you cannot vote. There is precedence. A guy who committed a crime with a gun should not be allowed to have one.

home defense is home defense, is it not? who are YOU, or any other part of society, to say whether someone can or cannot use claymores to defend his home?

and i'll say again, if someone has served their time and is released, they should have all rights restored, including voting. If they can't be trusted in public with a weapon, they can't be trusted in public. it's really quite simple

Exactly. It's a concept that seems to be foreign to many people.

Agreed with both of you.

Add to this, if a person can't be trusted with a gun, then why should they be allowed to vote? People are either citizens or they are not. I don't like the half-assed shit.
